I was talking about the system they were a part of. I mean, it's bad enough that we don't use metric measurements here. But at least our money has always come in easy-to-handle units. When there's, like, 37 pence in a shilling and 15.86 shillings in a pound, or whatever*, you could spend days just trying to pay for a candy bar with loose change. *Disclaimer: This is exaggeration. I am aware that the actual system was ever so slightly less confusing than my approximation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
